Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 176 The Heavenly Court's Grand Stage, Come If You Dare!

At this point, Haotian glanced at Subhuti.

He then added, "I hope you will think it through before you act."

Don't say it is unpredictable!

I can forgive you this once for threatening me.

If there is a next time, you don't need to appear in the prehistoric world.

Prepare for the sage Zhunti to rebuild his good body.

I have now finished speaking, and I will not accept any rebuttal.

You can get out now!

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Subhuti said with a gloomy expression, "Does the Great Celestial Venerable truly fear no crisis?"

Seeing that Xu Pu still posed a threat, a fierce glint flashed in Haotian's eyes.

He replied, "Crisis?"

Perhaps you could give it a try, even if you're a Buddhist!

Let's see if I'm afraid or not!

The Heavenly Stage awaits you!

As he spoke, Haotian slowly stood up and pointed to the dragon throne, saying, "Do you see this chair?"

As long as you're bold enough and have a strong enough fist.

If you win, this chair belongs to your Buddhist sect.

It's okay if we lose.

The Demon-Slaying Platform outside the North Heavenly Gate also falls within the territory of the Heavenly Court.

They're all on the grand stage of Heaven.

We won't let you step down.

just now!

You can go back and prepare.

I!

I'll be waiting for you in Heaven!

After speaking, Haotian stared at Subhuti with chilling eyes.

He said these words to Subhuti.

This was also addressed to the two Buddhist saints.

Subhuti only realized this at this moment.

What was Haotian's initial question about—that he had any intention to cooperate?

That's clearly a show of weakness, waiting for someone to jump into the pit.

After today's incident, from now on, any act of presumption by the Buddhist community will be strictly forbidden.

All of these could be considered acts of treason by Haotian.

How Haotian decides to deal with it at that time is not something anyone else can say.

But was this Subhuti's original intention?

He's just here to discuss cooperation.

Unexpectedly, what they thought was a sure thing turned into a trap for Buddhism.

Meanwhile, in the Chaos Sumeru Mountain Dojo.

Upon seeing Haotian's reply, Zhunti's heart immediately surged with anger.

Haotian, a mere mortal...

wrong!

That guy can no longer be described as "merely".

He is now a true Grand Immortal of Hunyuan.

I just fought a great battle with the Primordial Celestial Lord in the chaos.

This forced Yuanshi Tianzun to admit defeat and leave.

Thinking of this, Zhunti immediately felt an urge to fight Haotian, one of the two saints of Buddhism.

But as soon as the idea came to mind, Zhunti suppressed it.

Nothing more!

The timing is wrong!

The current flourishing of Buddhism is their most important task.

If they confront Haotian head-on now, Haotian will definitely punish the Buddhist sect in return.

Isn't the Chan sect the best example?

If Haotian were to interfere with the Chan Sect, he might need to consider the potential consequences.

We have to wait until there's a point of mutual benefit involved.

If we can touch their Buddhist sect, then we don't need to consider the impact.

Haotian can act as long as there is a reason.

Having lost their identity as members of the Xuanmen sect, Haotian will not be lenient with them.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhunti spoke up: "Senior Brother!"

Haotian's attitude was tough, showing absolutely no intention of cooperating.

What should we do now?

Upon hearing this, Jieyin snapped out of his reverie.

"Junior brother!"

Let's leave it at that for now!

We must not provoke Haotian any further.

Otherwise, before my Buddhist sect can flourish, it might face suppression from the Heavenly Emperor.

Haotian is not any other saint.

The will of Heaven indicates that the West is about to prosper.

We can still argue in front of other saints that Buddhism can represent the West.

After all, this is a tacit understanding among everyone.

However, to mention such a thing in front of Haotian would be a complete overstepping of one's bounds.

Before Haotian attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, he did not yield in this matter.

Now that he has attained the Primordial Dao, he is even less likely to back down.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti replied unwillingly, "Is this all we can do but retreat?"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin shook his head and said, "The problem now is not retreating."

Instead, when leaving, they tried their best to extinguish Haotian's anger.

We can't let Haotian harbor hostility towards Buddhism like this.

Otherwise, if he turns back, this person is very likely to be the one to do so.

They see a small problem and immediately launch an attack against Buddhism.

This is very detrimental to the Buddhist community's future actions.

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti could only nod helplessly and say, "I understand."

Immediately, Cundi transmitted his thoughts to Subhuti, explaining the meaning to him.

In a short time.

Subhuti began to curse in his heart.

You are the only one worthy of being called the real deal!

There's absolutely nothing I can do about you.

Otherwise, I'll show you what's what.

May the Buddha of Immeasurable Life be with you!

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

You were the one who told me when I came.

Haotian has now broken ties with the Chan Sect.

I won't easily make any more powerful enemies, so I need to be firm in my stance and keep him under control.

Now they're telling me to be nicer and appease Haotian for now.

Tell him not to immediately target Buddhism.

So the Three Corpses really have no noodles left?

Subhuti cursed inwardly.

On the one hand, he was helplessly considering how to ease the tension later.

After a moment's thought, Subhuti spoke up: "Great Heavenly Venerable!"

This is a misunderstanding!

The Buddhist community has absolutely no intention of seizing the throne from the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if we can't reach an agreement on cooperation right away, there's no need to ruin things.

The Buddhist community absolutely does not intend to be an enemy of the Great Celestial Venerable.

Please don't misunderstand...

After listening to Subhuti's explanation, Haotian said, "Alright!"

You don't need to say anything more!

I have already sensed the attitude of your Buddhist sect.

That is the truth, and I have no intention of arguing.

We'll see!

I have other matters to attend to and do not have time to chat with you here.

I won't keep you any longer, fellow Daoist.

Fellow Daoist, please make yourself at home!

Haotian descended, his gaze turning impatiently to Subhuti.

However, Subhuti saw that the Heavenly Emperor's attitude showed no sign of softening.

How could he dare to leave at this time?

He immediately began to explain further.

Haotian, however, didn't want to listen to any more nonsense.

Since you don't want to leave, then I'll have to see you off.

Then Haotian waved his sleeve and directly moved Subhuti to the outside of the South Heavenly Gate.

He saw that he had been "invited" out of the Heavenly Court by Haotian.

Subhuti was so annoyed that he stomped his feet.

If I had known this would happen, why would I have listened to my nonsense?

It was my own stupidity.

Seeing that Haotian's words had softened, they thought they had a chance to take advantage of him.

That's great!

The leverage has been handed over.

He wanted to return to the Lingxiao Palace, but then he saw the guard looking at him with hostility.

They definitely won't pay any attention to me.

As for forcibly breaking in?

That's absolutely unacceptable!

I'm afraid that if we just barge in, we'll be wasting our time.

After thinking for a moment, Subhuti decided not to concern himself with it anymore.

He simply swayed and headed straight for Flower Fruit Mountain.

There's nothing the Heavenly Court can do.

I'd better go tend to that stone.

At least there aren't so many upsetting things.

Subhuti simply abandoned the task.

Zhunti went berserk.

"Senior brother!"

What should we do now?

Haotian's attitude is so hostile; I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our Buddhist sect.

Jieyin shook his head upon hearing this.

"Junior brother!"

We misjudged Haotian in this matter.

That guy seems genuinely unafraid; let's join forces with the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

There must be a ban in place; he feels we can't contact him.

That's why they dare to be so unscrupulous.

For now, we can only take it one step at a time and see how things go.

As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Didn't he say that?

He wouldn't concern himself with matters of moral education.

Besides, the pretext we borrowed was indeed revealed by divine revelation.
